Update:

Engine is almost done. I'm going to paint it tomorrow and then I just have to put the intake and the tins I'm using on it. I'm hoping to get the engine in this thing and up and running soon. I'll post pix and engine specs soon

I painted the engine yesterday. Decided to go black with this one. I used Bill Hirsch engine paint and this stuff seems pretty durable. First time using it (actually second) but first time for myself. http://www.hirschauto.com/

I need to paint the waterpump and do a few odds and ends but it's essentially done. Here's some specs and pics

It's a 99 roller vortec .030" over, 4 bolt, new crank, resized powdered metal rods, forged flat tops, Howards roller cam HRS-180235 Duration 270/280, Lift .488/.495, Vortec heads, mild porting, 30° back cut on the valves standard interference angle face and seat, PP 52027 Intake, old school new style valve covers, shorty headers and MSD ignition.

I built a 700R4 and 208 T-case to take the place of the th400/205 that's in there. I'm going to swap the axles with the 3.42's I have to replace the 3.07's and there's a spool in the rear  ::)

Got the truck in the shop last night and washed the engine compartment really good. Going to paint it today so I can get ready to drop the engine in.

Just a quick update:

Drivetrain is all in and assembled. I should have it running this week. I'm making it a floor shift set up so I have to figure out what I'm going to put in. I'll post pix soon.

     Looking great vile, are you going to keep the truck or what are your plans for it ?

I'll probably play with it a little bit and end up selling it. It doesn't fall into my master plan but I had to rescue it when I saw it.

It's all GM sheet metal except for the front bed panel which I am replacing because it's bashed up pretty good.

I'd like to buy it and trade it to the guy who bought your M1008. Still kicking myself for not getting that one.

Update:

Axles are swapped out to 3.42:1 from 3:07, Drivetrain is all together, exhaust, fuel system, everything.... Well I just don't have the time to finish it. Seriously considering selling it as is and taking a beating. I got an offer for $3k which is stupid to take but in the interest of time I might just let it go.
